Seller wants $160,000 cash out which leaves $50,000 in equity for the buyer.I had a taker from CA but he couldn't come up with the cash.I was not aware of anyone that understands that kind of deal.  

Hey @Isaiah Cortez, here are the deets on STRs via the city - https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/government/departments-a-h/de...I don't have any real insights on the area, but do a search and you will find some details.

But I also put an caveat, "negotiable with more security deposit down." 

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice starting off with this business model.

Any recommendations or insight are appreciated!
